The original weapons map image is credited to GamerLady. I edited hers to fill in the gaps and share what I have found. So far, I’ve found a whopping 55 items and weapons that weren’t shown before and erased GamerLady’s one erroneous marking on the map. San Andreas appears to be a more dangerous place than previously surmised. My additions are mostly written in the color orange, a few in white.

To the map, I’ve added a:

1. nightstick in southern Doherty, San Fierro on walkway above street;
2. sniper rifle in Downtown, San Fierro (sniple rifer xD) on rooftop;

This is the only all-inclusive weapons/items map for GTA San Andreas on the web or anywhere. To acheive this, I scoured the individual weapons maps available at gta.wikia.com and added them to my main map. Throughout all of those maps, there were ten erroneous markings for various weapons/items that I filtered out, thus leaving a purely correct map to share with the gaming community.
It’s cool to know that there is so much more in this game than I was previously led to believe and suspect. Knowing what’s available in the game opens up more gameplay possibilities. Fifty-five is not a small number of additions to GamerLady’s map which is a decade old. New knowledge = new data = new fun. Let me know if you find something and I’ll check it out and add it.

The days go by slowly but they pass quickly, adding to my age, my days collected, turning into years. This past year is almost over and it feels
like it began four months ago. Each season feels like a month to me I guess. I can do much in each day yet accomplish very little in a year.
This is Maine, though, I keep reminding myself that it’s hard to make it in Maine.

The two produce similar effects. The former is easier to accomplish due to initial expense, setup time/effort/energy, and duration of application. The latter is healthier. The former uses a higher heat, over 1000*F , from a flame which ignites all material (effectively destroying it before use) whereas the latter is achieved by hot air at a lower temperature that does not cause combustion of the material. This vaporization process is actually inefficient as the forced air through the material draws away the fine particles, usually those containing the desired molecule, from the heat and deposits them on the device instead of being vaporized and inhaled. However, one can reuse the deposits and remaining plant material in different applications so the “high-potential” is not lost, just delayed and fragmented. Even from the inefficient vaporization of material, the effect is as strong, if not more so, than smoking since the lungs are absorbing fewer chemical vapors at greater concentration (ie. cleaner, leaner, and meaner than smoking).

In conclusion, vaping is healthier and you get alternate re-uses from the same material while achieving an enhanced level of effects.
